- Draft and deliver persuasive technical sales presentations and transparent price proposals to business owners and corporate procurement boards.
- Deliver dedicated after-sales care, checking in on installation progress and proactively addressing operational questions.
- Monitor competitor pricing models, product rollouts, and emerging market demands to feed real-time insights back to management.
